How dare both of those heads of state take the time to ignorantly condemn AZ's law while fueling racial tensions by suggesting that law enforcement is 'profiling' their ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

**** off!!!!

Can't say it any better. Now we need foreign leaders to tell us how to run this country? Please.... What a joke. Go back to your country and solve your own problems. You have plenty. And Mr. US President, pleaese grow some ***s and stand with AZ on protecting their innocent CITIZENS! Or move to AZ and sleep with a shotgun under your pillow every night. Either way.

I have many mexican friends, and have dated mexican girls, and even partied with their families on holidays and such. Great people, and very hard working. I love all of them dearly. Now with that said, most of them agree that the illegals in this country, are giving them a bad rep, and making life harder for them here. They all went through proper channels to become U.S. citizens, and believe that everyone else should do the same thing. This is not about race, or discrimination, it's about the law, and that's it. Saying it's about anything else besides that, is an act of idiocy.

Exactly. I have lots of Mexican friends too - you get a good dose of culture growing up on a military base. My best friend in school was a mexican - his mom didn't speak english at home. His dad was a sergeant in the 5th infantry and he used to go off, even back then (1987) about how the illegals gave his family and his culture a bad name.

The point of the picture, by the way, is to show the damage being done by illegal people entering this country and to help explain why the people in Arizona feel the way they feel. It has nothing to do with general litter obviously, but that disposition is part of the problem. Why do we (some) want to water it down. I don't understand the point in that. Someone please explain...

I don't think it's a case of Obama needing to grow balls. In many ways, and in particular on this topic, he is doing precisely what he said he would do - and politically speaking that isn't exactly common.

I disagree with his methods, but it is the people in America that need balls. Our country needs to elect a president with balls, not one who's actions indicate he might need to grow a pair.

If just half the people that voted for Obama because they hate Bush have become enlightened we can push back the 'politically correct' and get started undoing some of this insanity.
